WIRING BEFORE INSTALLATION.
Determine where you are going to locate both the rooftop
sensor and the read-out.
Feed the teminal lug end of the 2-conductor cable
through the rubber boot and connect the lugs to the
terminals on the bottom of the wind speed sensor.
(DO NOT adjust the nuts that are already on the
sensor). The polarity does not matter.
BOOT
Slide the stub mast through the rubber boot and insert

the stub mast into the bottom of the wind speed sensor.
Secure with the cotter pin. Coat all wire connections
with silicone sealant and slip the boot over the sensor.
Secure the sensor and the stub mast to your
antenna mast (not supplied) with the two hose clamps.
Radio Shack and similar stores have a selection of
antenna masts and roof mounting brackets. Choose

a mount that best suits your location and provides at least

Secure the wire to the building using cable clips (do not use
regular staples). Form a drip loop where the wire enters the
hole drilled through exterior wall. Caulk the hole when done.
Feed the cable through the wall to where the read-out is going
to be located. Attach the wires to the rear of the read-out as
shown. (Do NOT adjust the nuts that are already on the meter).
The polarity does not matter.
